' This invention relates to improvements in seat cushion covers forautomobiles and more particularly to a cover for use in conjunction withindividual seat cushions.

'One ofthe important objects of the 1nvention is to provide a coverwhich is of such construction as to enable the same to tional meansbeing associated therewith for preventing the creeping of the cover withrespect to the cushion and seat.

A still further object is to provide a seat cushion cover which may bereadily and easily attached and will not in any way be secured to thematerial formin the cushion.

A further object is to provi e a cover for the usual hinged back restassociated with the individual types of seats which are used inautomobiles of the closed type.

A still further object is to provide a seat cushion cover of thecharacter above described which is simple in construction, inexpensive,strong and durable and furthermore adapted for the purpose for which itis designated. C

Other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparentduring the course of the following description.

'In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification and inwhich like numerals designate like parts throughout the same:

Figure 1 is a perspective-view of the cover for the back rest.

Figure 2 is a'detail perspective view of the .cover foran individualseat cushion.

Figure '3 is a fragmentary top plan of the flap associated with thecover for the back with, and

' Figure 4 is a fragmentary plan of one of rest showing one of theelastic straps withthe snap fastener elements associated there I thecorners' of the cover for the seat cushion.

In the drawing, wherein for the purpose of illustration is shownthe-preferred em-' bodiment of my invention, the numeral 1 I designatesgenerally my improved cushion cover, the same being. formed of any suitable fabric. The piece-of fabric which is adapted tocover the to of theseat cushion is indicated at 2 and t e ends of-this piece v of fabricare adapted to provide the front and rear flaps 3 and 4 res ect ivel Theside flaps whlch cover the si es of t e individual seat cushions areindicated at'5 and the same are stitched at their upper edges to therespective longitudinal edges of the teeth 2, the forward edgesof theside flaps being stitched to the side edges'of the front flap 3, thusrendering the rear-flap 4 free. A binding such as .is shown at 6 extendsaround the free edges of the flaps as also clearly illustrated in thedrawing with reference more particularly to- Figures 2 and 4. v

Secured on the outer sides of each of the side flaps 5' adjacent therear free end thereof is one end of a piece of elastic 7. The malesection 8 of any well known form of snap fastener is carried by the freeend of each of the elastic straps. Cooperating with the male sections 8are the female sections 9 of the snap fasteners, the female sectionsbeing secured to the rear flaps 4 adjacen the 1 s spective sidesthereof, it being un erstood of course that the ends of the side flapswhich are free are disposed inwardly of the rear flap 4 and will beinterposed between the rear flaps and the back of the seat cushion whenthe cover is attached. It is also to beunderstood that suitablereinforcing means is associated with the side flaps not fit snugly onthe cushion. Further (are a theelastic .bandspermit the adjustment ofthe flaps with respect to the seat cushion so as to enable the cover tofitsnugly over the seat cushion.

In order to prevent the dis placement of the cover from the cg shion andto further prevent creeping, sui ble loop-s such asare shown at 10- areassoci'ated with the lower edges. of the flaps of the 'cover and areadapted to be secured to the seat underneath the bottom of thecushion'b'y f 105 suitable tacks or the like.

Cooperating'with the seat cushion cover 1 is the cover 11 which isprovided for the usual hinged back rest associated with the individualseats of an automobile of the closed type.-' The cover ll is open itsbottom, a flap 12 being.,gisititched to the lower edge of the portion ofthe cover which exv with the back rest. Elastic straps 13 are secured attheir'uppe'r ends to the lower edge of the front portion of the coverand the lower free end of the elastic straps have associated therewiththe male sections or same.

members 14: of suitable snap fasteners, the female sections or members15 being secured to the back portion of the cover 11 adjacent the loweredge thereof. The purpose of the elastic bands 13 is similar to that ofthe elastic bands 7 and it is not thou ht necessary to go in furtherdetail relative to the It is also to be understood that similarreinforcing means is associated with the cover 11 for the same'purposesas the reinforcing means which is provided in connection with the seatcover.

It will thus be seen from the foregoing description, that a 'seatcushion cover and a back rest cover have been provided, the same beingof such construction as to facilitate the attaching of the same on orthe removal from the seat cushion and back rest respectively without theloss of any considerable length of time or labor.

While I have shown the preferred embodiment of my invention, it is to beunderstood that various changes in the size, shape and arrangements ofparts may be resorted to without departing iirom the spirit of the,invention and the scope of the appended 7 claim. I

Having thus described the invention, what I claim is z A seat cushioncover comprising a iece of fabric adapted to cover the top 0 the seatcushion, and including front and rear flaps,'side flaps stitched alongtheir upper edges to'the side edges of the piece of fabric which coversthe top of the seat cushion, the

forward edges of the side fiapsbeing stitched to the side edges of thefront flap, the rear free ends of the side flaps being disposed inwardlyand interposed between the rear flaps and the back of the seat cushion,an elastic strip secured at its forward end to the outer side of each ofthe side flaps adjacent the rear free end thereof, cooperatingdetachable securing means associated with the free end of each elasticstrip, and the adjacent end of the rear flap, and loop membersassociated with the lower edges of the flaps for facilitating theattachment of the cover to the seat below the cushion.

" In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
